After having read the book and loved it, I am looking forward to this movie.
The usual thoughts about having first read the book before seeing the movie are there, so I guess you could say I am cautiously optimistic.

The book is great (read it back to back myself) but if you haven’t listened to the audiobook, it’s uh-mazing. The narrator Ray Porter absolutely kills it. Sucks it’s Audible exclusive but worth it.
And, same, I’m cautiously optimistic about the movie as well. Gosling isn’t who I had in my head while reading it but I’m still in line day 1.
I can second this.
Tap for spoiler
The way they did the alien language with the synthesizer was incredibly well done.
The man made complaining about a font choice Oscar-level stuff. Best table flip ever.
I did actually listen to the audiobook as well, but in swedish. Don’t think I will be listening to the english one as well, maybe down the line.
Who did you have in mind for the movie lead yourself?
This is nuts but Simon Pegg was in my head for some reason. He did a decent American accent in Band of Brothers and has the geekiness and timidity of Ryland Grace imo.
